Monitoring DGE Extensions

Adding the 'Time Since Result From DGE Extension' Test

Once a DGE-extension has been configured and is publishing results, a Time Since Result From DGE Extension test must be provisioned on its upstream DGE to monitor if the DGE-extension is working. This is setup as a `test' of the upstream DGE itself.

1. The DGE itself must be added as a device to Traverse to be monitored by Traverse, preferably by another DGE if one exists.
2. Navigate to Administration > Devices and click on the Tests link of the upstream DGE.
3. Click on the Create New Standard Tests and select the last option Create new test by selecting specific monitors.
4. Check the box after JMX and Add Tests.
5. On the next page, select an existing JMX monitoring instance if one exists for port 7692, else create a new instance specifying 7692 for the port number and leaving all other fields blank.
6. From the Test Categories box, deselect all and scroll down to select only Traverse: [DGE] Time Since Result From DGE Extension and click Continue.
7. On the next screen, provision all tests similar to Time Since Result From DGE Extension (name of DGE-extension) for each DGE-extension that this device is an upstream DGE.

Increasing Data Spool Time Period of a DGE-extension

When an upstream DGE is not reachable, the DGE-extension automatically spools the monitored data until a specified time. To change this value, edit etc\datacollector.xml on the system hosting the DGE Extension and increase the timetoLive value which is specified in milliseconds.

Consult with Kaseya Support before increasing this value.
